Things to know

• !The license is FCL-1.0-ALv2, a source-available license rather than a standard open-source license, so check its terms before commercial use.
• !Project creation prompts for admin credentials and needs an interactive terminal, so it cannot run directly in CI.
• !It requires Node.js ^24.17.0.

FAQ

What is Hexabot?

An automation platform for building agentic AI workflows in YAML that run across conversational channels, with tools, MCP, memory and RAG. Hexabot is an automation platform for building and running AI-driven workflows. Workflows are defined in YAML with typed runtime contracts, and they are executed through actions whose inputs, outputs and settings are validated with schemas. Reusable bindings separate capability and configuration from task logic, so the same workflow can be wired to different tools or models.
